You guys have the 70's CUCV's up there with 350 motor though. I always liked the vertical running lights in the fenders on those.

they are extremely rare though, our local scrap has a couple, they are pretty beat, and have not run since they showed up( 5-7 years), but they are camo so he still wants like $2000.00... go figure...... we are going to the scrap with a little load of cast friday, i will snap some pics of them

I've always preferred the horizontal side marker, looks like the truck wants to go faster.

Hey guys if you have a spare 5k laying around you could come get a 5/4 ton mil ambulance with a 6.2. It's been sitting at a used stealership next town over for a couple years. It would make a great work truck but that kind of money on a 27 year old truck (it's an '86 I think) is nuts

Just do a SAS in rattle puss, should be able to find a 70s-80s K30 front axle and springs kicking around

we had everything here at one time to do just that, but money got tight so we sold it all...LOL... dana 60 for dually truck, sm 465 with the big ass cast transfer case... we dont need a 4x4... the only 4x4 we even talk about having is a 4 motion swap for our '86 jetta

Okay guys, some pics (not in real time....LOL), of doing the short fill in the block. First the crank was installed with the "studded stiffy", used grease to be able to freely spin the crank and insure it is not binding. The next step is to level each side of the block, front to back and side to side (within a 1/16th of an inch). Then it was just to mix the filler and pour it in, tapping with a rubber mallet to ensure the fill is even throughout the water jacket. The short fill, as you can see, is just to the bottom of the frost plug holes.....being a DD/WT, we will install two block heaters in it, so needed the access to the frost plug holes.....now we will just let it sit for as long as possible. Next up should be the custom 18:1 pistons.....J&J.
